@Excursion.9752 said:Looks like it could be good. As long as the rewards are not ridiculous to get. Stop tying the major rewards to achievements. Put the items on the maps vendors and call it a day. If not then please make it available via reward track.

Please no, it feels so lame to just buy it from a vendor.

Edit: Kudos for Anet for all the hard work put in despite the virus and the voice acting. Can’t wait to play no quarter ?

I hope the emote is not restricted to the big achievement again.Having the choice between doing the achievements or doing a reward track was much better.

Why are you mentioning low RNG drop rates ? The person I responded to never mentioned that as well. If it is tied to achievement aka the episode final reward, then it can’t be RNG. Why are you complaining about emotes being tied to the major achievement now ? Because you can’t get it by only participating in open world and story despite this season developing more than just story and open world ?

If it is tied to achievement aka the episode final reward, then it can’t be RNG.IF the armour parts are is tied to achievements and no drop rates, that'd be fine.However, my comment about the big achievement was about the emote only being available from the big achievement.

I hope that the helms, armour and other skin rewards are accessible and don't come through very low drop rate and/or once a day chances. Achievements, crafting (within reason), decent drop rates, or vendor, I don't mind.

Especially the charr helms. Those are fantastic.

I really hope that we are able to change in which camp we are, it's total war, mutiny and treason exist... The episode is even called no quarter...... I don't care about fighting with united legions troops, I want to be with bangar! In addition of that my charr is from Blood Legion?!!! What more I need to be with the villains? But since it's "we must be nice" game, I'm sure we are forced to be nice again. It isn't hard to allow to join the evil camp within a map... It doesn't even have to be remembered or questioned after, the PC can have its moment of absence, or answering one of Jormag whisper... I know I would have also liked that since launch we had the possibility to worship Jormag as a Norn, being Flame legion for Charr and joining Inquest for Asura.....

Bangar camp and United legions banners would be awesome as gh decos.

It looks fun. I really like playing Silverwastes meta and this maps seems similar. It would be nice if outposts could be claimed by guilds which would cause guild's emblem to be displayed on the map and on flags around the outpost. Just something to show some guild pride.

In the new map Charrs seems to be imbued with essences :wink: Blood legions are red, Is saw some from the others as green: ash I think.At 0:41 it seems there is icebrood charrs imbued with blue essence. Everyone boosted its troops with essences? xDYEAH, I definitely think that the steel warband is with us, all apart Ryland.There is charrs wearing a frozen mask, it's weird, really weird..... 1:00

How is it any more boring than the achievement itself? It still would require a currency that would have you participating on the map. Some of us don't seek AP. I prefer to get it naturally. The most wasted emote so far that ANET devs have worked on is /shiver basically a waste of their time in my honest opinion. In the circles I run with say they don't have time for that nonsense. Asking for 37 achievements is a bit much. Not to mention I have only came across 3 people total that I have seen using it.

They need to bring not only the new items but the old items via Reward Track at the very least. People who prefer PvP & WvW don't like to be drawn away from their favorite game mode. I was thinking something similar to the Crystal Desert Reward Track where the final chest you could choose between one piece of armor from multiple sets and throw in the emotes in there as well.

I don't believe emotes should be blocked by game mode.

It's not the emote itself that's the waste of time.The unnecessarily grindy achievements in Bjora marches required to unlock it are a waste of time for many.Do the Wolverine shrine event with 20 times.Do the Eagle shrine event with 20 times.Do the Ox shrine event with 20 times.Go fishing with Kodan 20 times.Destroy big Svanir totems 20 times.Protect the Kodan ritual 20 times.etc.etc.etc.

That's why many want Arenanet to put them into Reward Tracks, just like the Roll Out emote from the prologue.

I totally agree with Fueki, it is no fun doing the same event 20 times. Plus if you pay attention, Bjora is just a copy pasta of the same 4 events all over the two part of the map:1-Escorts/patrol 2-Fishing 3-Bring something at the center of the sanctuary 4-Destroy svanir totems/stop rituals
Even the two metas are basically the same ton on portals spawning horde of foes... have to defend something against them (Jora (keep) or Jora)

But frankly, an emote, an E M O T E, it doesn't even need to be put in a reward track or for achievement, it's something that should have been here since 2013 for free.

"The most wasted emote so far that ANET devs have worked on is /shiver basically a waste of their time in my honest opinion. " In other words its a "wast of time" for devs to be working on something that a very small player base is achieving.

My problem is that it is taking me away from things I would rather be doing like raiding and WvW. To put it in perspective take what you feel is the worst game mode and make the emote only available there. Now lock it behind 37 tedious achievements. Now don't get me wrong PvE is not the worst I just want you to feel how off putting it is and let the dread set in.

But lets get back on track I'm happy for the new content I just wish that some of the rewards were available for the whole player base. The only prerequisite should be finishing the episode on your account.
